A Happy Place- A digital art piece and (cheesy) poem created for Eugene_J_Houston (@morgiemalt). Organized by the Makoharu AO3 Valentine’s Day Gift Exchange.

Here is a happy place

My heart slows to beat with yours

Here is a place of warmth

Skin glowing, eyes shining bright

Here is a place of memories

My mind brimming with your smile

Here is a place of unity

Arms wrap in familiar spaces

Here is a place of compassion

Fingers fit like puzzle pieces

Here is a place of safety

The world stills in bated breath

Here is a place of trust

No questions needed, for we know

Here is a place of love

Yes, this is our happy place
